Room In My Mind

It is a Saturday,

and time once again,

for Saturday Centus

with my 'Centurion' friends.

With a prompt we are lead

to write creatively,

with Miss Jenny, our teacher,

guiding us lovingly.

Using only 100 words, or less,

each one of us trying

to do our best.

I urge you to go

and check out SC,

where you will find prose,

and some poetry.

Without further ado,

I'll give what I've got,

hot off the presses,

terribly hot.

Room In My Mind

I pace the floor

of this room

in my mind...

A small space

i've created

that no one can find.

Create it indeed

with no windows or door...

Foolish planning I think

as I pace the floor.

What will I do

if I decide

this is not best?

Being in this room

in my mind

where I thought

i might rest.

I try to cry out

I scream, I shout.

Yet there is no one

to hear me,

no one about.

If I had a hammer

i'd bust my way out.

With no windows, no door,

no tools to free me...

i'm resigned to this plight,

this absurd destiny.

All of a sudden

a sound from above!

The bird has returned,

my mental 'white dove'...

has brought renewed hope,

and, quite possibly,

love...
